We aim to promote Islamic spiritual and moral values based on the Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be Upon Him) to give every child the opportunity to achieve their personal best and to develop lively inquiring minds by providing individually tailored teaching which allows spontaneity and encourages purposeful learning.

We aspire to instil within all pupils, staff and parents the love of life-long learning, leadership skills and the ability to become an inspirational individual with skills fit for the 21st Century.

In the Early Years Foundation Stage children make outstanding progress

External Educational Consultant, June 2014

Pupils with special educational needs and disabilities are extremely well supported by the emotional and learning hub known as the ‘Rainbow Room’. External Educational Consultant, June 2014

Adults use a range of exciting stimuli such as video clips to capture pupils’ imagination. Drama and a real emphasis on language development and acquisition are resulting in pupils becoming extremely confident about a range of authors and books. External Educational Consultant, June 2014

Pupils’ attitudes to learning are exemplary. They are polite and courteous as they move around the school. External Educational Consultant, June 2014

What People Say

This is a huge achievement and reflects the hard work of you, your team and your pupils. We received nearly 200 entries this year and the standard was very high. We expect this public recognition and demonstration of effective practice in your school will encourage other schools to think more ambitiously about their use of pupil premium funding and I would encourage you to work with other schools in your region

Deputy Prime Minister, Mr Nick Clegg

I am very pleased to highlight how well behaved and quiet the children were when coming into assembly. It is a real credit to your staff to how they manage the children and interact with them.

PC Mel Powell, Thames Valley Police

I would also like to complement you and the staff on the behaviour of the children. I go into 40 schools and see a complete spectrum of behaviour. The children at IQRA are certainly a credit to the hard work by you and the other members of staff. It was a pleasure to present to them. Please pass on my compliments to the staff and children when the school is next together for an assembly.

Keith Beasley, Road Safety Officer

Very impressed with the session, I’m grateful….The session was more concise, practical, applicable and useful than any planning lecture or workshop I attended on my PGCE.

University Trainee Teacher

All the students are doing well, but I was particularly impressed with Tom and Sara today. Tom in particular has made remarkable progress from his starting points and has moved from being one of the weaker to being one of the strongest students I have seen this year. This is largely thanks to all the help he has had at IQRA and the exceptionally high quality of support he has had from his mentor. Whatever you are paying her it’s not enough!!!

Brunel University Tutor

The school works at a pace I have not experienced in any of my other placements. The CPD is well thought through, exceptionally well delivered and all of the schools objectives clearly transfer to the classroom. As a result of this all children progress at a far faster rate than I could ever of imagined
